Coach gun. Yeah, there's one here at the house, a 12 ga. Far too much gun for tiny bamawife,..

Just how tiny is bamawife??
My mother, was 4'10 (and a half! damnit!) wore a size 3 and a half ring. Never weighted 110lbs in her entire life, but she could shoot her father's Ithaca 12ga double, from the hip. Claimed she got the technique from Victoria Barkley on The Big Valley tv show. That MIGHT have been a joke but with Mom, you never knew...
Gun held at waist level, gripped firmly in the hands but loose arms, allowing it to just "swing back" under recoil.
Saw her do it, more than once. If the target wasn't flying, she hit it every time.
It was her determination more than anything. OF course, I also saw that woman hold an angry angus bull cornered for an hour with just a pitchfork. IF Mom thought she could do it, there wasn't a bit of quit in her. My daughter is like that, too. Seems to have skipped me,
